Session 1: August 28 – October 9

Practicing the Way: Be with Jesus, Become like him, Do as he did with Deron (Fellowship Hall)
Christian philosopher Dallas Willard once observed that one of the most significant issues of our time was whether people who identified as Christians would become apprentices and disciples of Jesus. One of the greatest needs for the church, he noted, was the development of a “curriculum for Christlikeness.” Join Deron as we walk through a book designed to cultivate deeper spiritual formation, moving us toward Christlikeness.

Theology 101: What do we believe about God, Jesus, the Bible and how does that shape the way we live out our faith? 
(Room 403 Children’s Building)
Whether you are newer to walking with Jesus or are a seasoned follower of Him, this class is designed to help us know some of the most important aspects of our faith. Throughout this class, we will explore topics like who God is, the historical person of Jesus, why we can trust the Bible as a guide for faith, the Trinity, and more.

Five Critical Moments in Christian History and How They’ve Shaped Why We Believe What We Believe
 (Room 403 Children’s Building)
What are the five most pivotal moments in history? Through the second session of Midweek this fall, join us as we explore critical moments in the history of Christianity. We will explore the ways in which each moment in time impacted the way walk with Jesus and invite others to experience Him.

Specialty Classes (8/28 – 12/04 unless otherwise indicated):

Men’s Bible Study with Chris Rucker (Room 404 of the Children’s Building)
God designs us as men to lead ourselves and others, but what does that tangibly look like? Throughout the fall, we will explore three New Testament letters to discover ways in which we can grow and lead well. We will look to Paul’s challenges to Timothy and Titus, two young men that he mentored, to explore how we can grow as men.

Women’s Bible Study: When You Pray with Liz Burns (Room 408 of the Children’s Building)
Do you have trouble thinking of words to say to God when you pray? Are you afraid some emotions are too intense to express to God? Do you reach the end of a day only to realize you haven’t prayed at all? You’re not alone. Prayer is the way we relate to God, but sometimes it’s a struggle. Throughout God’s Word, we encounter many voices who teach us how to pray. Through this study you will learn that God welcomes your praise and lament, your thanksgiving and intercession. You’ll see examples of how to pray when you’re alone and when you’re gathered with others. Above all, you’ll notice there’s no one right way to pray. As you draw near to God through prayer, you’ll find your faith strengthened and your heart united to Christ.

Empowered Parenting (Meets in Room 405 of the Children’s Building on 9/04, 10/02, and 11/06)
Are you looking for ways to be the best parent you can? Throughout this fall, we’re pulling some of the best resources to equip you with more tools to lead your children to know Jesus, grow closer to Him, and avoid many pitfalls around us. Save the date and plan to join us for workshops that will explore the biggest threats to harm our children, the ways in which we can safeguard our families, and ways to ground our children with a firm foundation in Christ.
